Water Sentinel WSS-2-3 Refrigerator Replacement Filter, 3-Pack

• Economical alternative to expensive substitutes
• Delivers clean, clear water that looks and tastes great
• Helps reduce or remove chlorine tastes and odors that may be present in your drinking water

I bit the bullet and ordered this based on the part number of WSS-2-3. They ARE WSS-2 filters.See bottom of this review for WSS-2 specifications from Water Sentinel.The listing part number is correct, however the listing description is incorrect.

The description in the listing is as follows:

"From the Manufacturer

This Water Sentinel WSS-2 Replacement Water Filter for the Samsung WSF-100 contains a compressed carbon block which provides tremendous capacity to remove and/or reduce impurities and sediment that may be present in your drinking water. The carbon block has millions of active sites on its surface and within the structure which can absorb impurities like a sponge, and can adsorb and hold other types of impurities on its surface like a magnet. Additionally, this filter can catalytically breakdown other impurities very similar to the way a catalytic converter works in your automobile. These processes ensure that you are getting the cleanest and best tasting water possible. The WSS-2 filter will fit Samsung Refrigerators that use an external refrigerator water filter.

This is not a replacement for the WSF-100, nor is it for use on refrigerators that use an external water filter.

I purchased these to replace DA29-00020B for a Samsung RFG297HDRS French door refrigerator.They are about 60% of the price of the Samsung equivalent.I've had the filter installed for a week and it works great.It installed easily, without leaks.

They are made in USA, unlike Samsung's which are imported.Also, they use compressed charcoal, which I believe is a better filtration method than Samsung's which is a particle filter only.Charcoal filters absorb organic impurities, so the water tastes cleaner.I can't comment on the 6 month life expectancy yet.The instructions note to run 3 gallons of water before using, or until the water runs clear, but in my case the water was clear from the start (I still ran a gallon through it).

I have a Sam Sung model RF4287HARS and the filter works although not perfectly.As another reviewer pointed out, the diameter of this filter is slightly smaller than the original filter.Therefore the filter floats within the mounting area.The mounting end (gasket and mount) are identical so it does lock and seal perfectly.I cannot detect any difference in the taste/quality of the filtered water so if you can sacrifice perfect fit for equal performance then this one's for you.

This review is to point out an important fact:This filter ONLY removes/improves taste and odor, and removes some particulate matter (like rust or other small debris).Therefore, it is not a equal replacement for the Samsung Aqua-Pure DA29-00020B that ALSO reduces the following contaminants: 99.00pct of Asbestos 96.70pct of Benzene 97.40pct of Chlorine Taste & Odor 99.99pct of Cysts 99.30pct of Lead at pH 6.5 99.90pct of Lead at pH 8.5 98.00pct of Particulates (Class I) 99.10pct of Turbidity 94.60pct of Atrazine 99.00pct of Lindane Fluoride is not reduced.

So if your water source has been tested and is free of these contaminants (especially lead), this would in my opinion be an acceptable cost effective replacement.

If you are here for a water filter that is a cheap alternative for certain Samsung refrigerators, well, you've come to the right place. I have not noticed the difference between these and actual Samsung water filters. And my wallet thanked me... personally... with a rather ornate letter... that was written in iambic pentameter... which is pretty impressive for a water filter.
